Mrs Decar is joining the group - watch this space...

Also: I'm on the holidays for 10 days mid-September.  I doubt I'll have good Internets. :(   :gray-meeple:

Welcome to the forum, in the tournament and congratulations for the avatar, very apt :)
A knight is sworn to valour.
His heart knows only virtue.
His blade defends the helpless.
His might upholds the weak.
His word speaks only truth.
His wrath undoes the wicked.

 :white-meeple: My works.

I think, it's save to say, that this WC will reach for into October, and now I got a confirmation from my sister, who lives in the US, that she will pay me a visit, then. So I will be most of the time, when not working, occupied with her and think, it is better to withdraw from competition before it starts. Very sorry, but I will be back for other tournaments, and I also look very much forward to spend some time with my sister again. Maybe, I will introduce her to Carcassonne as well.

Well, 60% of the players will only play 4 games, quite likely all in September...

Another 20% will play one more game (5).

The last 20% will play 6 or 7 games.

 I expect the rythm to be quite slow around October: either we wait for the last group stage matches to be completed or you play max 1 match every 1-2 weeks in the knock-out phase until you're eliminated... If you've passed the group stage of course.

It's not what I would call the most demanding tournament...

It's your call ;)

Good to know. :(y) It is my first WC, so I was not familiar with that. Under this circumstances, I think, I can handle it, and will take part. Thanks!

Great. So we're still at 38 then.

I really want to kick this off as soon as possible as it's going to be awesome. Come on people, just 2 more, please! O:-)

Forgot to mention - monwil and I will be away on vacation from Sep 11 to Sep 23 inclusive.  We will be in Cuba for most of that time, and the internet in Cuba is both scarce and expensive from what I hear.

If this creates an issue for the competition, we will step aside.  We do not wish to hold things up.

Thanks Robert. But I don't anticipate everyone being 100% available immediately as soon as the competition begins. It's to be expected that some of the games may take a little longer to organise...
